Those Damn Pretzels...

A Boy Scout Fundraiser! Chocolate covered pretzels... They were in the car this weekend and when I had nothing to put in my body. I ate them... a lot of them... Last night when I was a little miffed at the DH and craved sweet, I went back into the car and finished them off... Truth be told, there weren't that many left, but let's talk about breaking a weekly goal the day it's set... Meh.

Those pretzels made me feel horrible. I had a stomach ache the rest of the night and I kept up this inner mean girl tirade.. "See?! - Hope you feel awful! You should have thrown those pretzels in the trash! You just had a decent week and then... poof!... How are you going to lose weight if you keep doing stupid stuff like this!?" I made that mean girl go away this morning. I've got to learn how I am triggered, move on and not dwell or berate...I have to find a new way to cope and BE KIND.

And the DH leaves today... He called last night on his way to the gym to make sure that I would take him to the airport... an 8 pm flight; so we'll have to be there at 6... The absolute worst night of the week for activities and the traffic is sure to turn it into a four hour adventure... I'm putting him on the bus... and I'm taking a mental health day tomorrow... The house is pretty clean, the laundry is manageable and the fridge is stocked. It's supposed to be absolutely crappy outside so I can go to the gym to walk and workout, make a pot of soup, and play with my new computer... Fingers crossed....
